If you have ever left a doctor’s appointment with a referral to another office across town, only to wait weeks for a second intake, you already understand the problem that integrated care is designed to solve. Southeast Healthcare has built its programs around a simple idea: physical health, behavioral health, and daily-life needs are connected, and care works better when it addresses all of them together.
The idea behind whole person care
Since beginning operations in 1978, Southeast has grown into a provider of integrated healthcare across eight Ohio counties, combining primary and behavioral health services under one roof whenever possible. Read more about that history on our Our History page. The goal is not just convenience, though that matters. It is that a person managing diabetes and depression at the same time, for example, often does better when both conditions are addressed by a coordinated team rather than two separate systems that never talk to each other.
What this looks like in practice
A patient might come in for a routine visit with our Primary Care Services team and, during that same relationship, have access to our Behavioral Health Services programs, Dental Services, and our in-house pharmacy. Southeast also connects patients to Vocational Services and Homeless Services when housing, employment, or life stability are part of the picture. Learn more about how these pieces fit together on our How We Help page.
Care regardless of ability to pay
Southeast serves people of all ages, backgrounds, and circumstances, and accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and many private insurance plans. Patients are never turned away based on their ability to pay. If you need help finding reduced-cost services such as food, housing, or transportation in addition to healthcare, our partnership with findhelp.org can point you toward local resources by zip code.
If you are looking for a healthcare provider who sees the whole picture, not just one appointment at a time, visit our Locations page to find the Southeast site nearest you, or call (614) 225-0990 to talk with our scheduling team.
